As far as lasagna recipes go, this one is on the unfussy side: theres no layer of bechamel, no layer of ricotta and egg, and it calls for no-boil noodles. ver: theres no need to salt the eggplant to draw out its moisture roasting takes care of that.
After the lasagna bakes for 40 minutes covered with foil, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely. Wrap the pan tightly in plastic wrap or cover with a foil lid if using a disposable pan and transfer to the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw: Transfer to the fridge 24 hours before baking. To bake: Place covered pan in preheated 350F for 30 minutes; uncover and bake for 5-10 minutes more.
Eggplant zucchini lasagna, a vegetable-based lasagna with the simplest ingredients; roasted eggplant zucchini, rich tomato sauce, Italian cheese blend, and lots of fresh herbs. Its rich in flavor, easy to make, and you wont miss using pasta noodles at all!
Do I need to cover it while it bakes? Not for this recipe. Whenever you cover lasagna, Its meant to trap moisture and avoid it from drying out. For this recipe, we want those extra liquids to bake off. Leave the lasagna uncovered for that to happen.
Why is my lasagna watery? This recipe shouldnt be watery because youre baking the vegetables first, which draws out most of the extra moisture. But if the end product has a little bit of liquid, bake it for 5-10 more minutes or until the liquid is gone – simple fix!

How to prepare eggplant for lasagna?
Next, you roast the eggplant slices in a 450F oven until tender and golden. I like to let them roast for 15 minutes on one side, flip and then roast the other side for 10 minutes. If you want to develop a little more golden color, you can pop the eggplant under the broiler for a few moments. At this point, the eggplant is ready for lasagna!
You cook Eggplant Lasagna for 55 minutes in a 400F oven. I recommend cooking the lasagna covered for 40 minutes, and then uncovered for 15 minutes. During that last 15 minutes, the cheeses on top will get all melty and golden. You can also pop the lasagna under the broiler for a few minutes at the end to get even more golden color on top.
You can definitely freeze Eggplant Lasagna! Youll want to prepare the lasagna through step 5 below fully assemble, but dont bake it. Next, wrap the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap, then tightly wrap with foil. At this point, you can freeze your uncooked Eggplant Lasagna for up to 3 months.
lækker! I used a mixture of plain and smoked mozzarella because I was afraid my reviewers would be overwhelmed by the smokey flavor. I also pre- cooked the lasagna noodles as I don't care for the no-boil products. We all loved the final product. I must add that the comment made years back by another New Yorker regarding Wisconsin clearly revealed their ignorance. Just one of NYC's bad apples mouthing off for no good reason.
